Abstract: Independent rear suspension for automobiles of the type including at each side of the vehicle a semi-trailing control arm swingable on an axis angularly displaced with respect to a transverse plane of the sprung mass, is further provided with a stabilizer bar connected between the control arms by having end crank arm portions of the bar each anchored at its terminal end to the control arm and further connected to the control arm at a spaced location from the anchor by a swingable bushed linkage such that the stabilizer bar experiences no stress affecting the suspension spring rate during normal pitch and ride motion of the sprung mass.
